The government is imposing export controls on surgical masks in light of a new wave of infections.

The Health Ministry has identified five more cases of Covid-19 in the country, bringing the total to 55 as of noon today.“Thus, to date, the total number of positive cases from this cluster is 26. Investigations and contact tracing for this cluster is still ongoing,” said health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a statement this evening.

Media reports have previously identified the affected individual as a senior member of Khazanah Nasional Bhd and UDA Holdings Bhd. In light of the second wave of Covid-19 infections in Malaysia, Noor Hisham said the Covid-19 Cluster Working Committee has decided to take additional steps to curtail the spread of the disease.

Among others, surgical masks would be gazetted as a controlled item under the Control of Supplies Regulations 2011 to ensure adequate domestic supply.
